Start counting! Just two months after tying the knot, 19 Kids and Counting star Jill Duggar is pregnant, expecting her first child with husband Derick Dillard.

The married couple announced their exciting news on Wednesday, Aug. 20. TLC confirmed Jill's pregnancy in a release, with a representative adding that the network is "thrilled" for the newlyweds. The mother-to-be, 23, is the fourth oldest of the expansive Duggar clan, with two older brothers, an older sister, and 15 younger siblings.

"When my dad first introduced Derick and I, we spent hours texting, calling, and talking on Skype," Jill said this past April, when she announced she and Derick were engaged. "We knew within days that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together."

The reality TV couple said "I do" on June 21 in Arkansas. "I love Derick's desire to follow God and to serve others," Jill said of her husband. "Derick is so romantic."
